It seems we should all be clearing it. This 'big society' idea is really taking off.
We have the exciting possibility of buying our port, from ourselves; Our forests are to sold off because they are not making enough money; 'free' schools that will rely on people turning a profit and cuts to the NHS.
Now we have the joy of paying for services from the council yet should be doing the work ourselves. Don't forget the rise in VAT and our friends in the private sector raising the price of heating our homes.
Big Society=Big Con. Pay more, get less.

Tell me Conservatives, will you be clearing paths for everyone, or just the routes you use? This idea isn't about society, but individuals with a 'sod you jack, I'm alright' attitude.
